Open AccessComplexity of avian evolution revealed by family-level genomes
Despite tremendous efforts in the past decades, relationships among main avian lineages remain heavily debated without a clear resolution. Discrepancies have been attributed to diversity of species sampled, ph...

Open AccessAdaptive expansion of ERVK solo-LTRs is associated with Passeriformes speciation events
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviral remnants integrated in host genomes, and commonly deleted through unequal homologous recombination, leaving solitary long terminal repeats (solo-LTRs). Thi...

Open AccessThe complete and fully-phased diploid genome of a male Han Chinese
Since the release of the complete human genome, the priority of human genomic study has now been shifting towards closing gaps in ethnic diversity. Here, we present a fully phased and well-annotated diploid hu...

Species-specific traits mediate avian demographic responses under past climate change
Anticipating species’ responses to environmental change is a pressing mission in biodiversity conservation. Despite decades of research investigating how climate change may affect population sizes, historical ...

Open AccessDraft genome assemblies of four manakins
Manakins are a family of small suboscine passerine birds characterized by their elaborate courtship displays, non-monogamous mating system, and sexual dimorphism. This family has served as a good model for the...

Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics
Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and characterizing biodiversity1–4. Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to confound phylogenetic inference5, and captur...
